Kim Kardashian Ripped by Nicole Brown Simpson’s Sister for O.J. Joke

Kim Kardashian is in the middle of some O.J. Simpson and Nicole Brown family drama ... and it's all because of what Nicole's sister views as a "distasteful" joke in Kim's 'SNL' monologue.

She invited the audience to take a "stab in the dark" who that is -- referencing the gruesome manner in which Nicole and Ron Goldman were slain.

Kenya rejects ICJ maritime ruling

President Uhuru Kenyatta has rejected the judgement made by the International Court of Justice on the Kenya-Somalia maritime border row.
